Regarding Boyan's proposal, Tang Qishi had no opinion; Even he can guarantee that his father, Yan Timur, will not have a slight opinion.

Henan Jiangbei Province, south to the Yangtze River, north to the Yellow River, east to the sea, west to Luoyang, Nanyang, the area is very vast, accounting for most of the Central Plains, before the Yuan Dynasty was the richest place in the world.

But why is everyone okay? One is because of the Yellow River, and the other is because of Haoqiang.

Let's start with the Yellow River.

The Mongols did not understand the Yellow River, they laid down the Yellow River, occupied the Yellow River, but could not hold the Yellow River, since the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yellow River has to flood every summer, so the anointed land of the year has now become a disaster place.

Especially in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, from Zhengzhou to the east and south, in the summer, it is everywhere, most of the people living here are from poor backgrounds, and they want to leave and have nowhere else to go, so they have to live here in fear, and when they hear someone say that there is a flood, they must quickly leave their homes.

What's even more amazing is that no matter whether there is a flood or not, the imperial court not only does not provide disaster relief, but increases taxes year after year! The grain tax alone in the entire Henan and Jiangbei provinces accounted for 15 of the total grain tax of the imperial court, about 2.6 million stones; After the floods of the Yellow River for many years, the annual grain tax is still 2.6 million stones; Coupled with the tax package system, the actual tax collected is more than 5 million stones.

Where did so much food tax come from? It's all ordinary people! Over time, a unique vicious circle has been formed in Henan and Jiangbei provinces: the Yellow River flows - the imperial court collects taxes - the people can't pay taxes - the tax package system - the people have to pay more taxes - the people flee - no one repairs the Yellow River - the Yellow River will continue to flood in the coming year!

Let's talk about Haoqiang.

Before the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, Henan Jiangbei Province belonged to the territory of the Jin State, and the people who lived here were not only particularly attached to their hometowns, but also those who lacked a sense of identity with the national righteousness, and a large part of the people were assimilated by the Jin people. After the Mongols destroyed Jin, all the northerners changed their surnames to Han, such as Wanyan's surname changed to Wang, so many people who seem to be Han are actually Sinicized aliens, and Mongolians are called Beiren, or Northern Han people, which are the third class of people.

With such a complex composition of the people, how can there be fewer social contradictions in ordinary times? It directly led to a situation in which a small group of people helped the Mongols to oppress a large number of people, and this small group of people became a strong man.

The Mongols have a total population of only 300,000, and it is difficult to own the world by themselves, so the Mongols are very good at "razing and defeating", they firmly control the Semu people and a small number of northern Han people, and then use them as minions to firmly control all the people and land north of the Yangtze River; and then use other northern Han people to control the southerners; The Mongols only need to be the number one Daru Huachi.

So who are the heroes everywhere? That is the heart of the Mongols, the foundation of the Mongols' rule over the world, can the Mongols collect taxes from them? Can you embarrass them?

No! This is also the fundamental reason why Yuan Wenzong and Yan Timur recognize Gong Qianbai's thoughts very much, but they are only willing to let Gong Qianbai bear it alone, but they are only willing to watch from afar.

Therefore, almost all the wealth of Henan Jiangbei Province is in the hands of these powerful people, so that last year, the grain tax was only collected less than 300,000 stone, and basically all the grain that ordinary people had at home was robbed.

How many people would like to go to such a place? There is no oil and water in Jiangnan yet!

Since Boyan said so, then agree!

So, the Queen Mother, Boyan, and Tang Qishi made a decision so happily.

That night, the eunuch on duty personally went to the palace of King Yu with the holy decree and carefully explained the meaning of Boyan.

Gong Qianbai had long known that his request would not be met, but it was okay to make a discount, who knew that the reply would come in just a while, and it would be even more shameless.

Then another one!

Gong Qianbai asked the eunuch not to leave, and personally stared at Liu Bingzhong and wrote a letter again, requesting that he be crowned the king of Song and take the entire Jiangbei Province of Henan as a fief, but he could guarantee a grain tax of 1 million stone per year. At the same time, the reason is explained in detail, namely: the prince of "Song" helps to convert the Han people to their hearts and helps them to quell the rebellion as soon as possible; And when it comes to recruiting troops and horses, it is more justifiable.

Of course, the reason is nonsense, but the request is true, but since the establishment of the Great Yuan Dynasty, in addition to the four khanates, the largest fief accounts for seven or eight roads, which is Henan Jiangbei Province, but there are twelve roads.

This is to set a precedent!

This time, even the Empress Dowager hesitated, and even Boyan was angry, but when the news reached Yan Timur, the Prime Minister agreed unprecedentedly!

The reason is also very realistic: as long as he can defeat the Ming Sect and pacify Henan Jiangbei Province, what does it matter if he is given it?

Implication: 1. He may not be able to defeat Mingjiao, nor may he survive; 2. In case the province of Jiangbei of Henan is really pacified, then we will talk about it, such as letting him pacify Jiangnan or even Lingnan.

Thinking about the information collected by the spies of the imperial court, the power of the Ming Sect was no less powerful than that of the imperial court combined...... The Queen Mother and Boyan finally understood.

Yes! Everyone is a descendant of Temujin, so why not satisfy you!

However, this time it can't be too painful, and it has to be delayed, lest someone think that the court is easy to bully!

So, on the afternoon of the second day, the third holy decree was issued, changing the title of Tara of Yu to the king of Song, taking Henan Jiangbei Province as a fief, military and political autonomy, as long as one million stone grain taxes were paid every year; As for the five people who asked for Lu Sicheng, Ouyang Xuan, Lin Quansheng, Li Hao, and Zhang Qiyan, there is no problem, just take it away!

Even for fear of Gong Qianbai's remorse, the Jin Jiaoyin was sent over, and the supporting reward was also sent over in a hurry.

"Put everything away, you have to use it well!"

Gong Qianbai sent away the eunuch who delivered the decree, threw the holy decree into the Ruyi space, and asked Bailong, "Where is the first wave of people who set off?" Has anyone been trick-or-treating? ”

Early this morning, except for Bailong and Gong Qianbai, everyone had secretly left the city, and the soldiers rushed to Henan in two ways:

On the first road, 14 people from Li Cunxiao's department, Chu Liyan, A Feng, A Bi, A Zhu, Youyu, Daxiao Hei, Chen Yuyan, Kang Xiaojian, Xiaocai's mother and daughter, Li Wei, Li Hu, Zhu Hongyan, Hu Xiaoyu, Jiang Ming, Jiang Liujie and others, converged with Wu Qibu in the North Palace, set off to Luoyang, established a base camp in Luoyang, and at the same time established a defense line with Hangu Pass as the center and the Yellow River in the north as the line. It just so happens that Daguang Villa is not far from the other side of the Yellow River, and there is a response to each other.

On the second road, Liu Bingzhong, Gao Lishi, Yue Feibu, and Xiang Yubu led their subordinates to Bianliang to establish the nominal Song Palace, and Liu Bingzhong and Gao Lishi returned to Luoyang after completion.

"Nope!" Bai Long shook his head, "This time, both of them are strong enough, and no one dares to find trouble!" ”
